NO NO NO!!! Higher temps will only speed the reproduction cycle.Yeah this really sucks and I don’t want to toss just yet. I’ll give RootsRuler ‘s method a try and I will definitely clean everything after harvest. There’s a bonsai tree outside the tent about seven feet away that I’ve acquired recently, this might be the problem,
I’ve also read that if you turn up the humidity it will get rid of them. Wonder if this is true
I can vouch for this... anytime I have mites in the garden they are definitely on the beans too. Love me a good distraction crop lol... I have a big issue with Japanese beetles, I put up traps and catch thousands of juveniles in spring and adults all through summer. I have morning glories all around my weed fence, the beetles love them, few fly over the morning glories to get to the weed, and those ones get physically ended by yours truly... large bugs are so much easier to deal with lol.
Hopefully you have a handheld sprayer in your bathtub. Misting them won't work. You'll need a decent stream of water to knock them off.I just checked, my local online sites and even Amazon here don’t carry the Azamax… bummer I could give this bean method a try for sure (if time even allows for this). I’m going to bring this plant into the bathtub, set the shower head to the mistiest setting, cover the pot and make it rain on her a few times a week. And see if that helps.
This is at week 4 of flower and getting close to harvest, I don’t want to go out and spend 100 dollars on a gram of whatever they have here. So I’m kind of screwed
What about the rubbing alcohol or lemon mixed with water solution? This would be the fastest way I can do anything to them. I'm in TaiwanHopefully you have a handheld sprayer in your bathtub. Misting them won't work. You'll need a decent stream of water to knock them off.
You located in the Great North?
They really are one of the worst to get rid of. Fire and brimstone to them I say!!I fought spider mites last summer and lost the battle. I ended up destroying my plants. I also learned a lot more about them than I ever wanted to know.
These horrible little creatures can evolve and become resistant to a single eradication method. That happened to me. I used hydrogen peroxide. It worked at first and I became overconfident. Then they evolved to become super mites. (Seriously!) To combat their ability to evolve, use more than one eradication method. It's also important to kill the eggs. That's harder to do than just killing the living mites. Killing the eggs is the real problem. They're extremely resistant to all manner of adverse conditions and can remain dormant for a long time.
The mites thrive on the underside of the leaves, so spraying from the top won't do much to combat them. Water can wash them off, but you must spray it upwards. A mild detergent solution is better than plain water because the detergent kills them in addition to washing them off. The mites can also be drowned by submersing the plant for about a minute. I never figured out a way to do that with a large plant, though. Alcohol solutions are also effective and can kill the eggs. Plain water won't kill the eggs. Hydrogen peroxide won't kill the eggs. (At the moment, I can't remember if detergent solutions kill the eggs.)
One method I didn't try was predator mites. I think it may be the best method. The folks I've talked with since then say it works well. I'll try predators if I ever have a problem with spider mites again. I saw that they're available on Amazon. They can probably be purchased from garden stores, too.
I eventually moved my grow to a different room and am using a new tent. I'm not using the first room at all. The mites cannot survive without vegetation. They only consume green plants and not all types of plants. They'll die of starvation if there aren't any plants to eat after they hatch. So, my plan for the first room is to create the conditions they like and let them hatch. Conditions are best for them to hatch during the hot and dry summer months, so I won't use that room for a full year. Without any vegetation in the room, they should starve to death. I've done other cleaning in the room too, so there shouldn't be many eggs left in there, if any.
Also, the way I observed the mites was to use one of those $30 digital microscopes from Amazon. I would cut off a fan leaf and turn it upside down on a piece of white paper and put it under the scope. In video mode, I could watch them move. Sometimes I'd poke them with a pin to see what they'd do. That way I could tell if the eradication method I was using was working. I could also see how they evolved--and they did evolve.
It looks to me like a PolyHybrid strain or a mix of the 2 indica/sativas, to what degree I couldn't say without knowing the strain of course. I'd say the best course of action would be to contact t the breeder who gave e you the seeds, I'm sure he knows exactly what it is your growing!Can some experienced growers tell me what this strain might be?
All I can provide is I got this from a local dealer, and in the bud there are some orange trichomes. Smokes great though, seem like a sativa dominant strain.
Or is it too early?
The dealer was charging me ridiculous amounts for weed, which led me to grow in the first place. This seed came from his weed, I thought it was a sativa dominant hybrid of some sort. She got pretty tall in about 2 months period, I had to switch her to flower in my 6 ft tent.It looks to me like a PolyHybrid strain or a mix of the 2 indica/sativas, to what degree I couldn't say without knowing the strain of course.

They really are one of the worst to get rid of. Fire and brimstone to them I say!!Most pests will develop a tolerance to many treatments if you keep using the same stuff all the time unfortunately. Just what we need, super treatment resistant asshole pests.
Nice lookin plant , very vibrant and appears very happy, ive been growing in excess of so many years that my grey hairs have fell out, and i can usually GUESS what sex a plant is at this stage but to definitively KNOW , is beyond my pay grade. That being said usually short and bushy indicates a female leaning plant/ taller kind of spindly,less undergrowth and reaching the lights first, kind of leans toward male, but those are generalizations at best and cannot be relied upon to determine the sex of a plant. Until i see balls , i just assume they are all males, that way im pleasantly surprised when those little wispy hairs show up.This plant has been growing for about six to seven weeks, weird I still couldn't tell the sex so I'm asking for some advice here. Can someone please help me identify if this is a female plant. The place where the plant is supposed to grow pistils or pollen sack is growing more sub-branches (so it seems).
Thanks in advance
